Hi Gerpol, Now that's more like it. LOL. While I identify more with other posters, I seriously do like to read your posts. << Once we knock of the fags and welfare bums we can concentrate on the elderly and poor and single mothers this should save a bundle for tax rebates or is it credits. >> Now that sounds like rhetoric. A nifty style you use for putting words in Days mouth. What have the Liberals done ? They won the deficit war on the backs of the poor and middle class. Now coming into an election year we could extend maternal leave.. That'd be a big political gain for the buck. (a good idea by the way that was long overdue, but of course they need to maximize the political impact). Due to HIGH HIGH HIGH payroll taxes the increase in 'contract' self employed people is way up. These people are now excluded from EI since they are working as self employed. I guess the Liberals didn't know this would happen. If these people have no work where do they go ? Mind you the Liberals built up quite a war chest with EI. How many billion was it in surplus ? << Just think the collection plate proceeds can go for building more jails, >> Talk about negative bicuspids or maybe it's the incisors with you :0) Propose something better. Neither Chretien nor you (LOL) has. Maybe we need Allan (Action Man ROTFLMAO) Rock back on the job ? Check out recidivism rates why don't you. Ever notice that when a young offender commits a heinous crime they are almost without fail 'well known to police' ? << How does God see this? >> I honestly don't know, He never answers my queries regarding politicians or mosquitoes. This is however, one of Days greatest mistakes. Many people on the left and right have a great fear of the God/religion concept. They much prefer religious hypocrites like Pierre Trudeau. << Bring a two tier Medical system >> Again just so much rhetoric. The Liberals (masters of deception that they are) have again sidestepped the real issue. Our health care system while far better than most in its fairness, sucks. Fix it. Drop the two tier BS. That is just plain and simple fear mongering (the essence of the of the Liberal campaign). We HAVE a two tier system. We will ALWAYS have a two tier system until it is so good that there is no motivation to go elsewhere. Mr. Chretien in his personal life is proof enough of that and in his last two mandates has done nothing but abet the situation. Sadly, the Liberals will probably get another majority. They only need to play on Canadians fear of the unknown. Gilles Duceppe said it best in the English debate when he said Chretien's platform was basically " Don't worry, Be Happy ". I bet Bruce Cockburn didn't realize he was talking about Canada when he penned the line '... and they call it democracy' Well, gotta go, (shhhh! time for family stuff) :0) regards, Kastel

I was disappointed to GalPal. If you don't want a right wing back lash we need to avoid the left wing lunatics as well. It's called balance and every life should have some.
